Flood Directive - Economic activity of the territory at significant flood risk (TRI) of La Rochelle

Geographic dataset produced by the GIS Directive Flooding of the territory at significant flood risk (TRI) of the Charentais coastline and mapped for reporting purposes for the European Floods Directive.
European Directive 2007/60/EC of 23 October 2007 on the assessment and management of flood risks (OJ L 288, 06-11-2007, p. 27) influences the flood prevention strategy in Europe. It requires the production of a flood risk management plan aimed at reducing the negative impact of floods on human health, the environment and heritage.
cultural and economic activity. The objectives and implementation requirements are laid down in the Law of 12 July 2010 on the National Commitment for the Environment (LENE) and the Decree of 2 March 2011. In this context, the primary objective of the mapping of floodable surfaces
and flood risk for IRRs is to contribute, by homogenising and objectifying knowledge of flood risk exposure, to the development of flood risk management plans (FRMPs). This dataset is used to produce the flood area maps and the flood risk map which respectively represent flood hazards and exposed issues at an appropriate scale. Their objective is to provide quantitative elements allowing a more detailed assessment of the vulnerability of a territory for the three levels of flood probability (strong, medium, low).
